This is just bad play on my part, and pretty unnecessary too. I was in Salzburg before my second impulse, had three cp and moved on Trier and Augsburg and then moved Alva, anticipating a 1-in-10 scenario in the Med. Third cp to control Salzburg instead, if I had read the rules correctly, and I wouldn't have to waste an impulse to correct that mistake.

That puts Tamas up.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well altough indeed I am younger, smarter, and more handsome than you, I am also less French, so maybe that's why. :P

That won't be necessary.

Question, if you use Fuggers twice in a turn, is it -2 cards next round?

It's impossible to use Fuggers twice in one turn.

Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

You also cannot use Luther to pull a card that's been used as an event.

Not true.  The Protestants can retrieve any card so long as they, themselves, have not played it as event.  Even if they retrieve a card someone else has played as event, however, they may still not play it as event themselves, per rule 11, "Playing a card as an event".
